Peter,
Try colnames(Table). Beware if you had used lower case t you would have
masked the table() R function.
Rgds,
Matthew

Subject: [R] Extracting Header From Table


I read a tab-delimited ASCII table, with a header, into R thus.
Table <- read.table(FileName, header=TRUE, sep="\t");

Is there any way I can now retrieve the header.  The header information is
obviously there since I see it, along with the values of the first row of
data, when I type
Table[1, ]

However, I cannot find an R function to retrieve the header information
from "Table".  When I try
> help.search("header")

I get
No help files found with alias or title matching `header'

I would be grateful if someone could tell me how I might retrieve the
header information.

Thanks,
Peter.
